And the Remington 870 tactical 12gauge shotgun (for answering the door after 10pm)

Ha ha, my father did that once when I was young, a couple of local deputies got lost on a foggy night and stopped after midnight ask which way town was. My father had his shotgun by the bed and brought it to the door with him but kept it out of sight. When they asked there question he pulled out the shotgun, pointed toward town with it and said "that way". He said they jumped back so fast they about knocked each other over. Couldn't do that now.

Come to think of it when I was in christian college a friend and I had cap guns (back when they still made them black to look like real guns) and we pulled the red plugs out of the front of the barrels and drilled out the back of the barrels so when you fired the caps actual flames shot out the front. We then put on long coats and did a mock execution on a friend in the cafeteria. When the cap guns fired everyone stopped eating for a moment and looked around then went back to their food. No way I'd do that now either. Boy times have changed, it was a different world back then.

Psalm 37:23 The Lord guides a man safely in the way he should go.

Prov. 3: 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.

...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.

I'm afraid I sold mine to my Uncle, who wanted them to stay in the family and knew that I'd never actually use them (maybe if I had sons we'd go shooting or something, but I got two petite, girly-girl-type daughters...)

The trigger discipline in that scene (and movies in general) makes me cringe.

Sorry I don't have pics of my actual firearms, but I've had a few. After a lot of soul searching*, I finally settled on (returned to) Glocks. Before that, my primary carry (duty) was the Sig P220 for several years:A cute G26, which I like, although still prefer the G19 size.

Having grown up in the Seattle area, instead of firearms, I have my old mandatory nerdy melee weapon.

Seriously, you gotta have one here. One of our major exports is news clips of cops turning the firehoses on angry fat guys swinging around samurai swords.

Actually it is an M21, and not the American sniper rifle. I believe it is a Serbian version of the AK that fires a 5.56 round, made by Zastava Arms. A few british contractors had them out one day and let some of my buddies and me shoot them... pretty sweet.Any way, here is a website with some of the statistics... http://www.assegaitrading.co.za/zastava_weapons_assaultrif_m21_556mm.htm

You guys are seriously scaring me! Just out of curiosity, is it really necessary to have guns in your house?

LOL. Finns have a lot of arms since we haven't yet managed to cut our forests and hunt our wild animals to extinction but I must admit that those hand guns are a little spooky. Talk about stereotypical peace-loving Scandinavians.

Semi-autos are all in .380 (9mm Short) including the Makarov. From the top, Beretta 85FS Cheetah, Mauser HSC, Makarov. Top right revolver is a Smith and Wesson 438 Bodyguard in .38 Special +P, and the bottom left is a Smith and Wesson Model 36 Ladysmith in .38 Special +P.

The bottom photo is of my Ruger Mk III Target in .22LR. This is my most accurate pistol, and it can produce better groups at short range than some of my rifles.

I would be happy to agree with you, but then both of us would be wrong.

Fat lot of good they'd do out of the house.

Maybe your right. The most dangerous thing i own is a turkish daggert, and honestly I don't think it would do me any good.

Do not be cast down over the struggle - the Lord loves a brave warrior. The Lord loves the soul that is valiant.

"Excuse me, person breaking into my house, while I run down to the bank, wait for it to open, and get my guns out of the safety deposit box. Oh, I see while I was talking you have already shot me. Carry on, then."

If it hadn't been allowed for anyone to buy guns in a supermarket no one would be shot.

criminals will always find ways to obtain firearms...not sure where a person can buy a gun in a supermarket though...

Come now, your country spawned Simo Hayha, the White Death. I figured every Finn was born with Mosin Nagant in hand!

Walmart.

Now to both- Ortho-cat is indeed right. Most criminals do not obtain their guns through legal channels. The few legally-bought firearms that are used in crimes (where the person who bought the gun is the offender, not a legally-sold gun that is then obtained through illegal means such as theft) are usually used in "crimes of passion" where any handy weapon- even the human hand- will do.

50 years old and have lived all over this country, including the South. I have never seen a gun for sale in a supermarket. Is this something they do in Poland?
